1999 Red Burgundy

Thursday 20th November sit down tasting 6.30pm with Richard Brazier 

1999 and 1990 were clearly the best two vintages for Red Burgundy in that Decade and in many ways very similar. There is a consistency and purity of fruit that that has made them appealing from a young age but with that gift to develop complexity whilst being excellently balanced. 15 Years of age seems a perfect time to evaluate this lovely vintage and most will either have got to their best or more likely getting to it. The final order will be NSG Bas de Combe from John Tardy, Pommard Epenots from Potel, Griotte and Mazis Chambertin from Esmonin, Charmes Chambertin from Geantet-Pansiot), Pommard Jarollieres from Boillot and Gevrey Chambertin Cazetieres from Rousseau, Chambolle Musigny Amoureuses from Girardin, Chambolle Musigny Combe D’Orveau from Clavelier and Gevrey Chambertin Combottes from Dujac.
